Darkness Is like Ignorance

Wandering through the darkness I couldn't help but feel this was a metaphor for how I lead my life. Stumbling around hoping to find a way to some nebulous goal all the while feeling like something I couldn't exactly see but merely felt was stalking me. I didn't even know if I was walking in the right direction, as it felt like I'd been walking for days and not gone anywhere. I couldn't see the ground but it felt just like ground. I didn't bump my head on the ceiling so I could assume it wasn't too low (I did jump just to be sure, which would have been a hilarious injury). At least whatever was hunting me took its sweet gods damned time before it announced it's presence, really let me think I was doomed without actually feeling I was.

"Look at you walking in the dark like a fool." Of course when it did announce its presence it was a real dick about it.

"You're down here to, so wouldn't that make you a fool as well?" The voice didn't answer for a bit and I picked up my pace, not that it helped, nor was I sure I was traveling in the right direction (or traveling at all, such is the issue with darkness).

"The difference between us is that I can see down here, you are just stumbling around blindly."

"Oh you're still here? I thought you left."

"I could say the same to you, what are you doing here? You're not a god, you're barely a man."

"I got lost after I left prison and I'm stuck here, I care little about being a god." Only part of this statement was true. Ok I wasn't lost, so really only the last part was true. The creature in the dark laughed.

"I doubt you were lost, but you are now, you are lost down here with me, perhaps if you were nicer I'd show you the way out of here."

"Maybe I like being down here."

"Well it is a nice darkness, mostly anyway, but you'll run out of food and water an die, and I'm sure you don't want that." The voice almost seemed like it was trying to convince me.

"I dunno I've lived a long time and been in a few too many situations like this, perhaps its time for me to die alone in the dark." The voice laughed and then all of a sudden I could see a light.

"Get out of here Lorentino, you're whining is getting on my nerves." I tried to turn around and see what had saved me, but I could see nothing. I almost suspected it was the darkness itself talking to me. I didn't exactly stick around trying to figure this one out. I just made my way to the exit and into the next part of my test which was my final part and thank gods for that. I was starting to get hungry!
